The Beman Project: bringing standard libraries to the next level
summary
Project provides runnable implementations, a cookie‑cutter exemplar repo, and CI + GitHub Codespaces so proposals are exercised before standardization. Concrete libraries include UTF-8 view (Windows UTF‑16 ↔ UTF‑8 ranges), iterator_interface (CRTP helper to build random‑access iterators with three methods), and in_place_vector (fixed‑capacity, stack‑allocated vector throwing on overflow). Uses CMake + GitHub Actions and Apache/MIT licenses. optional26 implementation tracks paper changes and lands in the standard after community testing and LWG discovery of real bugs.
